1 (Trial resumed; jury not present)
2 THE COURT: All right. Matters to take up, counsel,
3 includes the Rule 16/608, as I see it, issue. And then I want
4 to see where you are in terms of working out anticipated
5 personal identifying information of witnesses who I've given
6 permission to testify under pseudonyms to protect their
7 privacy.
8 So let's begin.
9 Ms. Menninger, did you want to begin with the Rule 16
10 issue?
11 MS. MENNINGER: I think Mr. Everdell was going to
12 handle that piece.
13 THE COURT: Okay.
14 Ms. Comey, are you taking this?
15 MR. ROHRBACH: I'm taking this one, your Honor.
16 THE COURT: You all swapped off.
17 So I think the defense is clearly right that if we are
18 talking by impeachment by contradiction, that is to say,
19 impeachment, direct contradiction of something testified to on
20 the stand, it's not required to be disclosed as case-in-chief
21 material under Rule 16; and depending on what it is, it's
22 likely not 608 because it's impeachment by contradiction, not
23 impeachment to show -- extrinsic evidence to show a character
24 for dishonesty and the like.
25 So the question is whether it's impeachment or not.

5 But otherwise, Mr. Rohrbach, do you disagree with anything I've just said as to the state of the law?

7 MR. ROHRBACH: No, I think that's a correct statement of the law, your Honor.
8
9 The issue with the photograph is it wasn't established that that satisfied any of the theories of impeachment; and so if the defense is offering it for some other purpose, that purpose would be part of the defense's case-in-chief and, therefore, subject to Rule 16 or an attack on the witness's character for truthfulness, which would be barred by 608.

So then you've got the FBI 302 in which she said that she lived at a certain address at the time that she met them; correct? MR. EVERDELL: That's right.

4
5 Have we moved beyond the Rule 16 issue at this point and we're just talking about --
6
7 THE COURT: Well, if it's impeaching, then there's not a Rule 16 issue. As I sit here, I don't know -- I don't see that it's impeaching; so that if it's not impeaching, I'm not sure what you're doing with it and it may be a Rule 16 issue.
8
9
10 MR. EVERDELL: If I can address that, your Honor, because I think we disagree with what the state of the law is. I think there's some disagreement on the courts about whether or not if the defense is going to introduce something or talk about something on cross-examination, whether that is considered a Rule 16 document.

15 So what I understand the case law to be, your Honor, is that they are trying to deal with the issue of where the defense is trying to introduce affirmative proof in its own case through the government's own witnesses.
16
17
18 THE COURT: For sure. Which is, let's face it, usually what happens. There's often not a defense case. Both cross-examination and impeachment testimony, as well as affirmative evidence, comes in through cross-examination.

1 temporal time split, that is to say, you don't have to put on your first witness, is not the question; it's a functional question, are you putting on evidence in your case-in-chief as opposed to impeachment testimony.
MR. EVERDELL: I think that's right, your Honor.
Let's give an example, because I think it's helpful to use examples. I'll use one from this very case.
It's my understanding that the government wants to introduce certain FedEx records through a FedEx document custodian. The defense also would like to introduce other FedEx records, coincidentally, through the same document custodian. So if that happens, you'd have a witness called by the government, the defense would want to introduce affirmative proof in its case through that same witness. That would be defense case-in-chief material which, by the way, we disclosed in our Rule 16 letter to the government. That's an example, I think, where the courts are talking about where you disclose things -- where you have a witness where you are trying to put on affirmative proof in the defense case through the government's witness. That is an example where we don't dispute.
I'll give another example. This is a hypothetical one. Larry Visoski just testified. He was shown a number of pictures of Little St. James Island where there were structures, houses on the island. And he testified to those,

2 If we hypothetically had photos of that same island
3 before those houses were built, we don't, but if we did and we
4 wanted to introduce those through Larry Visoski, again, that
5 would be affirmative defense in the defense case-in-chief
6 introduced through the government's witness. That would be
7 Rule 16 which we'd have to disclose ahead of time.
8 THE COURT: Right.
9 MR. EVERDELL: Now, what we are talking about here is
10 what Witness 1, what Jane, remembers about the childhood, about
11 these events; it's about her recollection of everything, and
12 that is critical to the case. So misremembering details,
13 misremembering where she lived, not being able to recognize a
14 house, that all goes to her credibility as a witness, her
15 believability, any contradiction.
16 This is central to the case. Her memory of every
17 single detail of her childhood is central to the case, and that
18 is not case-in-chief material. That is, if she testifies to
19 something and we think we have something that contradicts what
20 she just said, like a photograph of her -- of a place where she
21 lived as a child, but she didn't seem to remember, that's
22 impeachment material. And we don't know if we're going to use
23 that until she says on the stand what she says on the stand.
24 We have it ready to go in case she says that, and she did in

1 The only question in any specific instance is is it impeaching,
2 and is it a prior inconsistent statement. We have to deal with
3 the rules around a prior inconsistent statement. It wasn't
4 like you had deposition testimony. You had an FBI agent's
5 write-up of notes which the witness was confronted with and
6 said it was a mistake. Again, that wasn't moved in, but we can
7 deal with that as it comes.
8 There could be -- not here, but there could be 608
9 issues if you're trying to use extrinsic evidence. If what we
10 have is impeaching by contradiction, impeachment of what the
11 witness testified to on the stand, then it's not going to be a
12 608 issue.
13 MR. EVERDELL: If we're impeaching the witness, yes,
14 that's right. And I just want to address the issue of
15 impeaching with extrinsic evidence, which I know the government
16 has raised. That rule is -- and the cases they cite --
17 THE COURT: I know you cited Rule 613. I hadn't
18 understood their argument to be about 613.
19 MR. EVERDELL: They raised in their papers the notion
20 that you can't impeach -- or you can't use extrinsic evidence
21 to impeach. But the rule there and the cases they've cited

Case 1:20-cr-00330-PAE Document 745 Filed 08/10/22 Page 9 of 264 LC1VMAX1 415
1 The only question in any specific instance is is it impeaching,
2 and is it a prior inconsistent statement. We have to deal with
3 the rules around a prior inconsistent statement. It wasn't
4 like you had deposition testimony. You had an FBI agent's
5 write-up of notes which the witness was confronted with and
6 said it was a mistake. Again, that wasn't moved in, but we can
7 deal with that as it comes.
8 There could be -- not here, but there could be 608
9 issues if you're trying to use extrinsic evidence. If what we
10 have is impeaching by contradiction, impeachment of what the
11 witness testified to on the stand, then it's not going to be a
12 608 issue.
13 MR. EVERDELL: If we're impeaching the witness, yes,
14 that's right. And I just want to address the issue of
15 impeaching with extrinsic evidence, which I know the government
16 has raised. That rule is -- and the cases they cite --
17 THE COURT: I know you cited Rule 613. I hadn't
18 understood their argument to be about 613.
19 MR. EVERDELL: They raised in their papers the notion
20 that you can't impeach -- or you can't use extrinsic evidence
21 to impeach. But the rule there and the cases they've cited
22 stand for the unremarkable proposition that you can't
23 impeach -- or you can't use extrinsic evidence on a collateral
24 matter.
25 THE COURT: Correct.

EVERDELL: Her memory about anything to do with this time period is not a collateral matter; she is a central witness to this case. 2 THE COURT: Well, again, I don't adopt that broad statement. But to the extent you are attempting to impeach -- 3 so you have something that contradicts what she testified to on the stand, then it's not a Rule 16 issue, I doubt it's a 613 -- 4 a 608 issue. We may have to deal with 613 questions and what it is that we're looking at. 5 MR. EVERDELL: Again, it's also not a 608 issue, I'd say, your Honor, because that rule deals with conduct. 6 THE COURT: I said it's not a 608 issue. 7 MR. EVERDELL: Yes. Okay. I agree with you. 8 MR. ROHRBACH: I'm a little confused, your Honor. 9 I think we're agreeing that, as your Honor said, if it's offered for impeachment with a proper basis for impeachment and it's not about a collateral matter, then they didn't have to disclose it in Rule 16. If it's to advance the defense case, whether in the government's case or in the defense case, then it should have been disclosed in Rule 16. 10 There are things that the defense might expect to offer for impeachment, but that might be impeachment about a collateral matter or might be impeachment, but is not, in fact, based on a contradiction or some other proper theory of impeachment, in which case it is not an admissible exhibit. 11 SOUTHERN DISTRICT REPORTERS, P.C.

4 THE COURT: Well, again, I don't adopt that broad
5 statement. But to the extent you are attempting to impeach --

13 MR. EVERDELL: Yes. Okay. I agree with you.
14 MR. ROHRBACH: I'm a little confused, your Honor.
15 I think we're agreeing that, as your Honor said, if
16 it's offered for impeachment with a proper basis for
17 impeachment and it's not about a collateral matter, then they
18 didn't have to disclose it in Rule 16. If it's to advance the
19 defense case, whether in the government's case or in the
20 defense case, then it should have been disclosed in Rule 16.
21 There are things that the defense might expect to
22 offer for impeachment, but that might be impeachment about a
23 collateral matter or might be impeachment, but is not, in fact,
24 based on a contradiction or some other proper theory of
25 impeachment, in which case it is not an admissible exhibit.

1 similar to the government and similar to what Mr. Everdell did yesterday, 18 binders that have potentially admissible sealed
2 exhibits in them we would like to place under the jurors'
3 chairs, consistent with the practice on prior witnesses, to
4 only have them directed to a particular tab when and if the
5 Court admits a particular document that has identifying

1 Anything to take up?
2 MS. MOE: Yes, your Honor.
3 I just wanted to report to the Court, we had a chance to confer about those two issues. We've narrowed the scope of disagreement to just one issue after conferring with the witness's counsel, which we'd like to raise at sidebar. I don't know how soon that will come up, so I defer to defense counsel whether to do that now or whether it would be more efficient to bring the jury out and deal with that at a break.
10 There's a second issue to flag, but let me just pause there on that to see.
12 THE COURT: Sure.
13 Is it anytime soon, Ms. Menninger?
14 MS. MENNINGER: I don't think so, but I don't have it all memorized.
16 THE COURT: Understand. Let's hope we get to the break and then we'll take it.
18 What else?
19 MS. MOE: Yes, your Honor.
20 Defense counsel provided the government with a number of exhibits, and we appreciated the chance to review those in order to raise issues in advance. We just wanted to flag that for two of those we anticipate there being a Rule 408 objection. Again, I don't know how quickly that will arise, so I just wanted to alert that to the Court. We can take that up

In addition, defense counsel has notified the government that they've provided binders of defense materials for the jurors. It appears that -- we have not had a chance to review those materials, but based on a sampling that defense counsel has provided to the government, it appears a large number of them are things like printouts from the internet and otherwise. So we have concerns about jurors flipping through a binder that would appear to contain a wide array of materials that would not be admissible. And because we haven't examined that binder, we have concerns about that. I don't want to delay bringing the jury out, and so I would just ask for an opportunity to be heard about that before the jurors bring out any binders and begin flipping through them. MS. MENNINGER: I'm going to be asking them to look at the binders at the outset at the beginning exhibits. I think we've all come to believe -- THE COURT: We're going to keep doing what we've been doing, which is before the jury turns to it, the defense will tell us what it is.

If the witness says something that Ms. Menninger believes to be inconsistent with a prior statement, the question then is instead, not a document, but do you recall -- like isn't it true that you told the government X? And if the witness says, "I don't remember that," then that's the record. If the witness says, "Yes, I said that," then that's the impeachment. The documents themselves are impeachment by collateral material. The proper way to do this is to ask the witness whether she said something or not. If she denies it, then the way to do that is through the witnesses to that meeting, and not by asking the witness to read a document that she didn't prepare into the record, which is what's happening. THE COURT: Well, what I understand you to be saying is you want first her to show it to her and see if it refreshes her recollection. MS. MOE: Yes, your Honor, if she says she doesn't recall. If she denies the fact and the point is to impeach her with a fact of a prior inconsistent statement -- THE COURT: Well, I think the window of disagreement is not just an inconsistent statement but that she doesn't recall -- no, I think you're right. So if she doesn't recall what she said in a meeting, you can refresh her recollection as to what she said. If she says, "I didn't say that" or "I don't to what she said."

MENNINGER: So I believe that I do not have to refresh for impeachment, but I can ask her -- THE COURT: You're claiming that because she doesn't recall what she said, it's an inconsistent statement. There's not an inconsistency there. MS. MENNINGER: So, I can ask her, "Did you say this?" She can say, "I don't recall." And then I can say, "Isn't it true you said it on this date?" And she can say, "No, I didn't" or "I still don't recall." THE COURT: Every trial I've been to with these materials I've presided over -- and there's been a lot in ten years -- this precise thing happens. You testified X. Didn't you tell the agent some variation of x or Y. I don't remember way said to the agent. You show them the 302. Does that refresh your recollection, or didn't you -- and didn't you say if it doesn't refresh your recollection and then you get to do precisely what you're doing. MS.

MENNINGER: Well, I said here's the date and then there was an objection at the time. But in Rule 613(a), it says: When showing or disposing the statement during examination. When examining a witness about the witness' prior statement, a party need not show it or disclose its contents to the witness. But the party must on request show it or disclose its contents to an adversary party's attorney. 12 And so because I don't believe I have to show it to her. If I want to prove it later with extrinsic evidence, she has to be given an opportunity to explain or deny the statement and the adversary party is given an opportunity to examine the witness about it. That's the way I read that rule. 17 THE COURT: So the extrinsic evidence of a witness' prior inconsistent statement. My point is if she says she doesn't remember, it's not an inconsistent statement. You have to get to a point of inconsistency. 21 MS. MENNINGER: Here is the inconsistency. 22 THE COURT: When you're doing it based on what she testified to yesterday, if there's a difference, yes. 24 MS.

Case 1:20-cr-00330-PAE Document 745 Filed 08/10/22 Page 77 of 264 483 LC1VMAX3 Jane - cross 1 THE COURT: So that's not a 408 issue, it's a scope of knowledge issue. 2 MS. MOE: Yes, your Honor. 3 It's a 408 issue to the extent the questions are about 4 negotiations related to settlements which would only be 5 admissible in order to show bias under the second prong of the 6 rule. And that's where the scope of knowledge issue comes into 7 play, because facts along those lines would only be relevant 8 under Rule 408 if this witness were aware of them.

MENNINGER: Your Honor, in those two documents, 14 the attorney in a civil matter for this witness demanded sums 15 of money. And there was one in the civil case. He was acting 16 in his capacity, and she was a party in that case, and he was 17 her lawyer. So his statements are adoptive admissions by the 18 party from that case that she was demanding the money that's 19 claimed in that letter.

MOE: Yes, your Honor. 3 It's a 408 issue to the extent the questions are about 4 negotiations related to settlements which would only be 5 admissible in order to show bias under the second prong of the 6 rule. And that's where the scope of knowledge issue comes into 7 play, because facts along those lines would only be relevant 8 under Rule 408 if this witness were aware of them. So we just 9 wanted to make sure any examination was cabined along those 10 lines. 11 12 THE COURT: Ms. Menninger? 13 MS. MENNINGER: Your Honor, in those two documents, 14 the attorney in a civil matter for this witness demanded sums 15 of money. And there was one in the civil case. He was acting 16 in his capacity, and she was a party in that case, and he was 17 her lawyer. So his statements are adoptive admissions by the 18 party from that case that she was demanding the money that's 19 claimed in that letter.

THE COURT: So just to spin out the question, Were you demanding $25 million during -- in a civil lawsuit while this criminal investigation was pending?

Yeah, this is incorrect. Q. When you first talked to the government in December of 2019 about traveling to New York, you told them that on your first trip nothing inappropriate happened; correct? 11 A. I don't recall. Q. You told the government that your first trip was to just go and have fun; correct? 14 A. I don't recall. Q. If I could direct your attention to your statement from September of 2019, which is 001, at the second page. MS. MOE: And I'd object to characterizing it as her statement. THE COURT: Sustained. MS.

I'm not sure how 21 that establishes impeachment under the rule. 22 THE COURT: The fact that she knows her lawyer told 23 the government that. 24 MS.

It's an issue of whether the witness is coming and testifying knowing that, the person who's calling them to the stand is aware of this whole plan to get more money from the civil case by testifying here. THE COURT: What does that tell us at all about her motivation? The two pieces aren't linking up. There's does she have in her mind that testifying might help her in the civil case. The answer to that is yes. I don't see -- it seems to me it's potentially -- it's attorney-client privilege issues because it's about what her attorney communicated to her.

2 MS. MENNINGER: Objection. Leading, your Honor.
3 THE COURT: Sustained.
4 Q. Jane, in your own words, can you tell the jury what that money meant to you?
5 A. Sorry.
6 Q. It's all right. Take your time.
7 A. I mean, it -- oh, I wish I would have never received that money in the first place because of what happened. You know, when you're seeking some sort of closure, and I guess in, you know, laws in this country, compensation is the only thing you can get to try to move on with your life and for the, you know, pain and abuse and suffering that I received, and all the out-of-pocket money I paid to try to make this go away and to try to fix myself.
8 MS. MENNINGER: Objection. Narrative, your Honor.
9 THE COURT: Overruled.
10 A. So, you know, hopefully this just puts it all to an end, and I can move on with my life.
11 Q. Do you have any financial stake in the outcome of this trial?
12 A. No.
13 MS. MODE: Nothing further, your Honor.

5 THE COURT: This would be a witness you would call in

9 week more of testimony, by my review of the witness list.
10 MS. COMEY: Your Honor, I think that's right. We're

1 MS. COMEY: Your Honor, I think it depends on the length of cross-examination for some of the more substantial witnesses.

13 But I just think substantively it's likely to be less, and there's likely -- well, with the exception of one, there's less 3500 impeachment material that needs to be gone through potentially, so I think that will shorten the length of cross-examination.

1 (Trial resumed; jury not present)
2 THE COURT: All right. Matters to take up, counsel,
3 includes the Rule 16/608, as I see it, issue. And then I want
4 to see where you are in terms of working out anticipated
5 personal identifying information of witnesses who I've given
6 permission to testify under pseudonyms to protect their
7 privacy.
8 So let's begin.
9 Ms. Menninger, did you want to begin with the Rule 16
10 issue?
11 MS. MENNINGER: I think Mr. Everdell was going to
12 handle that piece.
13 THE COURT: Okay.
14 Ms. Comey, are you taking this?
15 MR. ROHRBACH: I'm taking this one, your Honor.
16 THE COURT: You all swapped off.
17 So I think the defense is clearly right that if we are
18 talking by impeachment by contradiction, that is to say,
19 impeachment, direct contradiction of something testified to on
20 the stand, it's not required to be disclosed as case-in-chief
21 material under Rule 16; and depending on what it is, it's
22 likely not 608 because it's impeachment by contradiction, not
23 impeachment to show -- extrinsic evidence to show a character
24 for dishonesty and the like.
25 So the question is whether it's impeachment or not.

5 But otherwise, Mr. Rohrbach, do you disagree with anything I've just said as to the state of the law?
6
7 MR. ROHRBACH: No, I think that's a correct statement of the law, your Honor.
8
9 The issue with the photograph is it wasn't established that that satisfied any of the theories of impeachment; and so if the defense is offering it for some other purpose, that purpose would be part of the defense's case-in-chief and, therefore, subject to Rule 16 or an attack on the witness's character for truthfulness, which would be barred by 608.

15 THE COURT: Right.
16
17 But the, I'll charitably call it, theory offered yesterday that anything that's not part of the case-in-chief somehow then falls under 608 as extrinsic, you've walked away from that.
18
19
20 MR. ROHRBACH: Yes -- the theory really is that it has to satisfy some proper basis of impeachment for extrinsic evidence. So it's true that there are more than two paths, yes, your Honor.

7 MR. ROHRBACH: No, I think that's a correct

9 The issue with the photograph is it wasn't established
10 that that satisfied any of the theories of impeachment; and so
11 if the defense is offering it for some other purpose, that
12 purpose would be part of the defense's case-in-chief and,
13 therefore, subject to Rule 16 or an attack on the witness's
14 character for truthfulness, which would be barred by 608.
15 THE COURT: Right.
16 But the, I'll charitably call it, theory offered
17 yesterday that anything that's not part of the case-in-chief

21 to satisfy some proper basis of impeachment for extrinsic

5 Have we moved beyond the Rule 16 issue at this point and we're just talking about --
6
7 THE COURT: Well, if it's impeaching, then there's not a Rule 16 issue. As I sit here, I don't know -- I don't see that it's impeaching; so that if it's not impeaching, I'm not sure what you're doing with it and it may be a Rule 16 issue.
8
9
10 MR. EVERDELL: If I can address that, your Honor, because I think we disagree with what the state of the law is. I think there's some disagreement on the courts about whether or not if the defense is going to introduce something or talk about something on cross-examination, whether that is considered a Rule 16 document.
11
12
13
14
15 So what I understand the case law to be, your Honor, is that they are trying to deal with the issue of where the defense is trying to introduce affirmative proof in its own case through the government's own witnesses.
16
17
18 THE COURT: For sure. Which is, let's face it, usually what happens. There's often not a defense case. Both cross-examination and impeachment testimony, as well as affirmative evidence, comes in through cross-examination.

1 temporal time split, that is to say, you don't have to put on your first witness, is not the question; it's a functional question, are you putting on evidence in your case-in-chief as opposed to impeachment testimony.
MR. EVERDELL: I think that's right, your Honor.
Let's give an example, because I think it's helpful to use examples. I'll use one from this very case.
It's my understanding that the government wants to introduce certain FedEx records through a FedEx document custodian. The defense also would like to introduce other FedEx records, coincidentally, through the same document custodian. So if that happens, you'd have a witness called by the government, the defense would want to introduce affirmative proof in its case through that same witness. That would be defense case-in-chief material which, by the way, we disclosed in our Rule 16 letter to the government. That's an example, I think, where the courts are talking about where you disclose things -- where you have a witness where you are trying to put on affirmative proof in the defense case through the government's witness. That is an example where we don't dispute.
I'll give another example. This is a hypothetical one. Larry Visoski just testified. He was shown a number of pictures of Little St. James Island where there were structures, houses on the island. And he testified to those,

1 and those were introduced.
2 If we hypothetically had photos of that same island
3 before those houses were built, we don't, but if we did and we
4 wanted to introduce those through Larry Visoski, again, that
5 would be affirmative defense in the defense case-in-chief
6 introduced through the government's witness. That would be
7 Rule 16 which we'd have to disclose ahead of time.
8 THE COURT: Right.
9 MR. EVERDELL: Now, what we are talking about here is
10 what Witness 1, what Jane, remembers about the childhood, about
11 these events; it's about her recollection of everything, and
12 that is critical to the case. So misremembering details,
13 misremembering where she lived, not being able to recognize a
14 house, that all goes to her credibility as a witness, her
15 believability, any contradiction.
16 This is central to the case. Her memory of every
17 single detail of her childhood is central to the case, and that
18 is not case-in-chief material. That is, if she testifies to
19 something and we think we have something that contradicts what
20 she just said, like a photograph of her -- of a place where she
21 lived as a child, but she didn't seem to remember, that's
22 impeachment material. And we don't know if we're going to use
23 that until she says on the stand what she says on the stand.
24 We have it ready to go in case she says that, and she did in
25 this case, and so that's why we were able to use it or try to

1 The only question in any specific instance is is it impeaching,
2 and is it a prior inconsistent statement. We have to deal with
3 the rules around a prior inconsistent statement. It wasn't
4 like you had deposition testimony. You had an FBI agent's

15 impeaching with extrinsic evidence, which I know the government
16 has raised. That rule is -- and the cases they cite --

18 understood their argument to be about 613.

20 that you can't impeach -- or you can't use extrinsic evidence
21 to impeach. But the rule there and the cases they've cited
22 stand for the unremarkable proposition that you can't
23 impeach -- or you can't use extrinsic evidence on a collateral

If it's to advance the defense case, whether in the government's case or in the defense case, then it should have been disclosed in Rule 16. 10 There are things that the defense might expect to offer for impeachment, but that might be impeachment about a collateral matter or might be impeachment, but is not, in fact, based on a contradiction or some other proper theory of impeachment, in which case it is not an admissible exhibit. 11 SOUTHERN DISTRICT REPORTERS, P.C.

9 it is that we're looking at.

15 I think we're agreeing that, as your Honor said, if
16 it's offered for impeachment with a proper basis for
17 impeachment and it's not about a collateral matter, then they
18 didn't have to disclose it in Rule 16. If it's to advance the
19 defense case, whether in the government's case or in the
20 defense case, then it should have been disclosed in Rule 16.

22 offer for impeachment, but that might be impeachment about a

It's hard for us to know now exactly what they plan to do. The government thinks we should take that as it comes. But I think there's sort of broad agreement about the general principles here, your Honor. MR. EVERDELL: If there's broad agreement, your Honor, then there shouldn't be objections. If we have an issue with the witness's memory that we believe we have a document or some other information that contradicts what she's saying, then we are allowed to cross on it. THE COURT: Okay. We'll take it as it comes, but we agree on the principles. I think the only question is -- I sustained the objection to admission of the photograph, because it's not clear to me that it's impeaching. As I said, if it's not impeaching, then it might be a Rule 16 issue; I wasn't entirely sure what you were trying to do with it. You're welcome to -- if there's some basis to show a photograph, to impeach something she suggested in her testimony, then you can do that. MR. EVERDELL: Yes. THE COURT: Okay. MR. EVERDELL: Understood. MR. ROHRBACH: The government agrees, your Honor. The issue with that particular photograph, setting aside the fact SOUTHERN DISTRICT REPORTERS, P.C.

4 MS. MOE: I'm sorry.
5 THE COURT: That's okay.
6 MS. MOE: I believe the witness would explain that when all of this began when she was 14, she was living in a pool house because of her family's financial circumstances. But at some point during the years that followed, her family moved to a second house.
7 THE COURT: And that's the address listed in the 302, as you understand it?

10 MR. EVERDELL: Your Honor, I'm sorry.
11 I believe -- and I'm checking this right now, but I believe the address she put on her 1994 Interlochen application was the address we were showing her the photograph of. And she's saying she's in a pool house or homeless. So I think this is impeaching. I think this goes directly --

3 she looked at your photograph, she looked at the address
4 written on it; she said that's the address where I lived.
5 That's not yet in contradiction to her statement, because

15 MS. MENNINGER: -- what was on her applications. What
16 she said in her 302, which was already discussed on the record,
17 is that she lived in the same place from the time she met
18 Epstein until she moved to New York. That was her statement.
19 She continued on --
20 THE COURT: You mean that's the statement recorded in
21 the 302.
22 MS. MENNINGER: That is one of the statements recorded
23 in the 302 verbatim.
24 THE COURT: Right. Sorry, verbatim. She said it was

16 THE COURT: Understand. Let's hope we get to the break and then we'll take it.
18 What else?
19 MS. MOE: Yes, your Honor.
20 Defense counsel provided the government with a number of exhibits, and we appreciated the chance to review those in order to raise issues in advance. We just wanted to flag that for two of those we anticipate there being a Rule 408 objection. Again, I don't know how quickly that will arise, so I just wanted to alert that to the Court. We can take that up

Case 1:20-cr-00330-PAE Document 745 Filed 08/10/22 Page 20 of 264 426 LC1VMAX1 as it arises, but wanted to bring that to the Court's attention. In addition, defense counsel has notified the government that they've provided binders of defense materials for the jurors. It appears that -- we have not had a chance to review those materials, but based on a sampling that defense counsel has provided to the government, it appears a large number of them are things like printouts from the internet and otherwise. So we have concerns about jurors flipping through a binder that would appear to contain a wide array of materials that would not be admissible. And because we haven't examined that binder, we have concerns about that. I don't want to delay bringing the jury out, and so I would just ask for an opportunity to be heard about that before the jurors bring out any binders and begin flipping through them. MS. MENNINGER: I'm going to be asking them to look at the binders at the outset at the beginning exhibits. I think we've all come to believe -- THE COURT: We're going to keep doing what we've been doing, which is before the jury turns to it, the defense will tell us what it is. If you have an objection before they turn to it, you'll raise it and we'll deal with it. MS. MOE: Yes, your Honor. Thank you.

17 have to address that as it comes because we're not quite sure

The issue is at a number of times the witness has testified that she doesn't recall, and instead of showing the witness the document and asking if that refreshes her recollection, which is the only thing that would be proper at that juncture, I believe counsel is now just reading reports into the record, which is not proper.

If the witness says something that Ms. Menninger believes to be inconsistent with a prior statement, the question then is instead, not a document, but do you recall -- like isn't it true that you told the government X? And if the witness says, "I don't remember that," then that's the record. If the witness says, "Yes, I said that," then that's the impeachment. The documents themselves are impeachment by collateral material. The proper way to do this is to ask the witness whether she said something or not. If she denies it, then the way to do that is through the witnesses to that meeting, and not by asking the witness to read a document that she didn't prepare into the record, which is what's happening. THE COURT: Well, what I understand you to be saying is you want first her to show it to her and see if it refreshes her recollection. MS. MOE: Yes, your Honor, if she says she doesn't recall. If she denies the fact and the point is to impeach her with a fact of a prior inconsistent statement -- THE COURT: Well, I think the window of disagreement is not just an inconsistent statement but that she doesn't recall -- no, I think you're right. So if she doesn't recall what she said in a meeting, you can refresh her recollection as to what she said. If she says, "I didn't say that" or "I don't to what she said."

And she can say, "No, I didn't" or "I still don't recall." THE COURT: Every trial I've been to with these materials I've presided over -- and there's been a lot in ten years -- this precise thing happens. You testified X. Didn't you tell the agent some variation of x or Y. I don't remember way said to the agent. You show them the 302. Does that refresh your recollection, or didn't you -- and didn't you say if it doesn't refresh your recollection and then you get to do precisely what you're doing. MS. MENNINGER: Your Honor, may I get the statute book because it says right in 613. THE COURT: Sure. MS. MENNINGER: Yesterday I tried to show the witness an exhibit and I was directing her to when the exhibit was made SOUTHERN DISTRICT REPORTERS, P.C. (212) 805-0300 DOJ-OGR-00017666

MENNINGER: Well, I said here's the date and then there was an objection at the time. But in Rule 613(a), it says: When showing or disposing the statement during examination. When examining a witness about the witness' prior statement, a party need not show it or disclose its contents to the witness. But the party must on request show it or disclose its contents to an adversary party's attorney. 12 And so because I don't believe I have to show it to her. If I want to prove it later with extrinsic evidence, she has to be given an opportunity to explain or deny the statement and the adversary party is given an opportunity to examine the witness about it. That's the way I read that rule. 17 THE COURT: So the extrinsic evidence of a witness' prior inconsistent statement. My point is if she says she doesn't remember, it's not an inconsistent statement. You have to get to a point of inconsistency. 21 MS. MENNINGER: Here is the inconsistency. 22 THE COURT: When you're doing it based on what she testified to yesterday, if there's a difference, yes. 24 MS.

What's inconsistent about you saying, "You 5 said X to the agent," and she says, "I don't remember." Is 6 that an inconsistency? 7 MS.

MOE: Yes, your Honor. 3 It's a 408 issue to the extent the questions are about 4 negotiations related to settlements which would only be 5 admissible in order to show bias under the second prong of the 6 rule. And that's where the scope of knowledge issue comes into 7 play, because facts along those lines would only be relevant 8 under Rule 408 if this witness were aware of them. So we just 9 wanted to make sure any examination was cabined along those 10 lines. 11 12 THE COURT: Ms. Menninger? 13 MS. MENNINGER: Your Honor, in those two documents, 14 the attorney in a civil matter for this witness demanded sums 15 of money. And there was one in the civil case. He was acting 16 in his capacity, and she was a party in that case, and he was 17 her lawyer. So his statements are adoptive admissions by the 18 party from that case that she was demanding the money that's 19 claimed in that letter. That's the first one. 20 THE COURT: And so what do you expect to do? You 21 expect to ask what? 22 MS. MENNINGER: You were demanding $25 million to 23 settle your civil law claim while Ms. Maxwell was pending in 24 this criminal case, I might add. That's the first one. 25 THE COURT: Okay.

MENNINGER: Yes, your Honor. THE COURT: Okay. MS. MOE: Yes, your Honor. As long as it's framed in terms of her knowledge; we have no objection to what she knows about or was involved in. What we want to avoid is a scenario where following a question like that, a legal document exchanged between attorneys was then shown to the witness to refresh her recollection, and this witness was asked to read into the record comments her attorney made, which would not be admissible under Rule 408 if she doesn't know about them because they can't speak to her bias if she is not aware of those communications. THE COURT: So just to spin out the question, Were you demanding $25 million during -- in a civil lawsuit while this criminal investigation was pending? I suppose one response would be I don't know, one response is yes, and one response is no. So if the response is yes, you move on? MS. MENNINGER: Yes.

MS. MOE: Yes, your Honor. The question remains about her knowledge. And again, if we're refreshing this witness's recollection with a document she hasn't seen, I just want to make sure that the question is very precisely framed. Because there have been a number of times already this morning where the witness has been asked to just read the document and has given answers like, I don't know, but I guess that's what this says, which is beyond the scope of refreshing a recollection. So I just want to ensure we're not asking this witness to read into the record hearsay statements of her attorney which she doesn't have knowledge.

As your Honor may have seen, 8 she was offered an award. And after that award was offered, 9 her lawyer -- the same lawyer in that proceeding -- wrote 10 basically a motion for reconsideration and said that the award 11 was not appropriate; that it should at least be an eight-figure 12 award. So that delayed the whole -- you know, her decision to 13 join in the -- or to accept the award. And I believe that is, 14 again, an adoptive admission or a statement because he was 15 acting in her capacity as her lawyer in a civil case while this 16 criminal case was pending. 17 THE COURT: So what's the question you'll ask. 18 MS.

The policy favoring the encouragement of civil settlements sufficient to bar their admission in civil actions is insufficient, in our view, to outweigh the need for accurate determinations in criminal cases where the stakes are higher."

We'd be happy to take a quick look into it. 6 7 THE COURT: It will probably take more than a quick look. It's complicated.

No. 8 9 10 11 Who reads Second Circuit cases? 12 13 In the context of the defense seeking to introduce, the rule was subsequently amended, there's been no intervening Second Circuit interpretation. The rule is amended because the government wanted some ability to introduce in some context civil settlement matters. So the rule has been changed now, by its terms, at least, not in the case of motive and bias, it does appear to apply in criminal settings. But I don't think that the amendment, which was not -- I don't think that amendment is sufficiently overruling of the Second Circuit decision for me not to be bound by that Second Circuit decision.

And so a statement or an issue of bias that's being offered for impeachment, whether we're talking about a Rule 408 issue or otherwise, is only relevant and permissible if this witness knows about it. THE COURT: I agree there are personal knowledge questions in issue. I did ask you specifically if it was a 408 issue, and you said yes. You're on your feet, of course, now, and have to respond to me quoting a Second Circuit decision at you. And, of course, district courts are required to follow Second Circuit precedent even if its intention was subsequent changes in the law, unless and until the case is reconsidered by the Second Circuit sitting en banc or its equivalent or is rejected by a later Supreme Court decision. So I do think there may be a question of the change in the rule and what the scope of that was and whether it overturns the Second Circuit decision such that I'm not bound by it. I doubt it. Separate and apart from that is the question of whether she has personal knowledge of what her attorneys did, right. MS. MOE: Yes, your Honor.

I don't think that clarifies -- I think it's unclarifying on two points that Ms. Moe has raised. 9 MS. MENNINGER: Okay. 10 THE COURT: One, cooperating in this case, meaning by testifying or more broadly. And two, since she no longer has a pending civil case, I think she'd probably be left wondering what you're referring to. 14 Can you clarify the question -- I think what you're asking is at any point during your -- at any point in your cooperation with the government -- "cooperation" is loaded because it's not like there's a cooperation agreement or something. But for lack of a better term, cooperating with the government with respect to this criminal case, did you ever have an understanding that it might benefit you in what was then a pending civil litigation? 22 Ms. Moe, is that getting at what you're suggesting? 23 MS.

That's my current expectation. But I think with respect to I think some of the granular issues, the difference between woman and girls, I think, especially in this context is not so different that it would not be a prior consistent statement. And beyond that, your Honor, we think this tracks the rule. MS. STERNHEIM: Judge, I disagree. The distinction between a girl and a woman is precisely what this case is about, and she was very clear that she felt like she was the only one. The other people were women.

15 Matters to take up, Mr. Rohrbach?
16 MR. ROHRBACH: Nothing from the government, your
17 Honor.
18 THE COURT: Ms. Sternheim?
19 MS. COMEY: I apologize, your Honor. We do have an
20 issue. We will need to take it up at sidebar because it
21 relates to a pseudonym issue.
22 THE COURT: Okay. Sidebar pseudonym issue.
23 MS. COMEY: It will be brief, your Honor.

6 THE COURT: A month ago.
7 MS. STERNHEIM: We can turn back the hands of time.
8 THE COURT: I wish we could.
9 MS. STERNHEIM: I don't think you would.
10 We might, but not you.
11 MR. PAGLIUCA: I think it's a little more complicated than -- I think there are different issues related to different potential witnesses, I guess is the issue.
12
13 I'm happy to have it briefed as best we can under the facts that we know right now, assuming that the Court wants briefed is the issue we discussed today. Okay. Because then we may have issues related to lawyer witnesses that are under subpoena, but will not be called under any circumstances unless it's briefed and the Court gives permission for the calling of those witnesses.

15 THE COURT: Let's start with the limited issue that was raised today, which is that you would call -- you're seeking to call Glassman.

1 narrow question of whether under theory of waiver he told Jane
2 that it would -- testifying would help her in her case.
3 When would you like to do that?
4 MR. PAGLIUCA: How about Friday, your Honor?
5 THE COURT: This would be a witness you would call in
6 your case-in-chief?
7 MR. PAGLIUCA: Exactly. So it's at least a week from
8 now, I would imagine. I'm assuming the government has about a
9 week more of testimony, by my review of the witness list.
10 MS. COMEY: Your Honor, I think that's right. We're
11 unlikely to rest in less than a week from now.
12 THE COURT: So is Friday okay?
13 MR. ROHRBACH: We can respond on Monday, if that's all
14 right.
15 THE COURT: Sure. Great.
16 It will provide some general background on piercing
17 privilege and waiver to the extent that will inform issues
18 beyond the specific.
19 MR. PAGLIUCA: To the extent we can preview the
20 additional issues, we'll get that underway as well so that you
21 have a sense of what may or may not be coming down the road
22 here.
23 THE COURT: Okay. Can I ask, thinking about timing,
24 now that we're where we are, what is your estimate for the
25 trial?

1 MS. COMEY: Your Honor, I think it depends on the length of cross-examination for some of the more substantial witnesses. If we can expect about the same length as we have with Jane today, I expect we'll be able to rest the third week of trial. So not next week, but the week after, early that week is my best estimate.

7 THE COURT: And what's the defense's best estimate?
8 MS. STERNHEIM: We'll let you know.
9 MR. PAGLIUCA: I'm going to suspect the length of cross-examination will be less for the remaining witnesses.
10
11 THE COURT: We worked out some --
12 MR. PAGLIUCA: Kinks, yes.
13 But I just think substantively it's likely to be less, and there's likely -- well, with the exception of one, there's less 3500 impeachment material that needs to be gone through potentially, so I think that will shorten the length of cross-examination. And we will have whatever we need to have ready to go, understanding the format we're doing this in now.
